Just when you thought you could delete us from your podcatcher we are back and with a distinct lack of excuses for our absence. This week we discuss our new weekly formats and chat extensively about “transitioning”.

No it’s not a mirage, this really is #023 of our occasional podcast. We must do better! Excuses are in abundance after which we discuss a whole raft of topics – some even web related!

Six links and just under one hour of chat, what are we playing at? Variety is the name of the game this week. We discuss Kieran’s new event, Getty Images big news, magazine web sites, Netflix, coding standards, text editors and round off with the Mark Cuban’s best ever investment.

Like the proverbial phoenix, we have risen! Kieran is back and we finally wish each other a happy new year. This episode we try and get to the bottom of why we weren’t nominated for a Net Award, this as you might imagine takes a while.

In our first episode of 2014 I am joined by new guest co-host Marc Roberts of Neutron Creations. After a lengthy chat about his rather special coat we moved onto more web related links and finished up with a discussion on node.js. Big thanks for Marc for taking the time to come on the show.

It’s the end of year Back to Front Show awards special. An opinonated, and occasionally tongue in cheek, look back over the last year in which we celebrate the events, the trends, the people, the apps, the podcasts, the magazines and the books that have made 2013 a great year. We also have details of our first ever guest co-host who will be joining Keir in December!

We are back after a what can only be termed a travel enforced sabbatical. This week we chat about two new books focusing on remote working, Kieran regales us with more eco-living tales and we discuss why our industry seems obsessed on building businesses to flip.
